Although Bluefront can forget it if he's still on dial-up

That's pretty funny, thanks for sharing!

It made me think that's about as close an interaction to human music I've ever seen from another species. Never saw a dog or cat responding to a song in such a way. Seems far more sophisticated than Pavlov's dogs.

I suppose it's a video.....can't watch. But I've seen plenty of different parrots reacting to music and singing. Mostly Double-Yellowhead and Yellow-Nape Amazons are really good at this. I saw one Double-Yellowhead that could sing Italian Opera perfectly, and he even seemed to like to do so.

Cock-a-too parrots of all the different types are rarely good talkers or singers......Amazons are usually much better. Of course my Bluefront Amazon said "hello" only once in his whole life.
